So just gonna clear some things here for those grammar people/reader. Sorry if my English (grammar, spelling, etc.) is sometimes or ALWAYS wrong -3- English is not my L1 (First Language) and that's the reason why my ENGLISH is NOT PERFECT or HORRIBLE for some people and because of that I'm asking for your FORGIVENESS for my bad English. If you really think that my grammar is really bad then just don't read my stories -3- I write my stories with all of my heart and I admit that I appreciate your WANT to help me improve it but to tell you the TRUTH it's just smashing my confidence into pieces -actually crying while typing this- and slowly I'm starting to think twice about writing/typing/posting fanfictions... soooooo that's all I think and once again FORGIVE ME FOR MY BAD ENGLISH :(((

Chapter 1

"You're useless…" A feminine voice whispered to Lucy who was in the middle of a very dark place.

"Who are you?" She answered the voice who laughed in response.

"Tell me who you are?!" Lucy demanded and the voice gave a laugh before answering her.

"I'm someone who is concerned with your teammates who you always put in danger because of your weakness."

Lucy's eyes widened and everything started to spin the pitch black surroundings spun making Lucy extremely scared. But what terrified her most are the images that she saw. It was her nakama and they're all dead, tears welled in her eyes and she screamed in the top of her lungs.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Lucy woke up in a jolt. Sweat was pouring out of her, her breathing was hard and rigid. Her heart pounded loud in her chest. That dream. She had been dreaming that dream ever since she met the mysterious woman in one of their missions. She didn't tell anyone about the strange encounter because what the woman said was true.

"You're just a burden to your team…"

Her words echoed in her head again making Lucy cover her ears tightly as if she was really there saying that to her. After some minutes Lucy was finally able to calm herself giving a deep sigh she reluctantly got up and prepared to go to Fairy Tail.

Natsu had just finished talking to their Master and he was really relieved that he was able to tell him the information before he announced the members chosen for the next S-class mission with Erza.

"Thank you Jii-chan, I hope you understand why I asked you to do that."

Makarov gave Natsu a huge smile and then he snickered, "No problem kiddo, even if I were you I won't want to put Lucy in a dangerous situation especially now that—"

"Master, Erza and the others are in the guild hall now." Mirajane's sweet voice interrupted Makarov's statement.

"Yeah we're going down Mirajane." He answered the beautiful white-haired mage.

"Let's go Natsu."

Then he and the fire dragon slayer went down in the guild hall and saw that indeed everyone was there. They were all seated in the benches, some were in the bar and was asking Lisanna for something to drink or eat. Natsu immediately saw the blonde celestial mage and hurried to sit beside her.

"Luce!" He called as he ran towards the mage who was sitting with Erza, Gray, Juvia and Wendy.

Lucy turned to look at the dragon slayer who called her name to give him a small smile.

"Hey Natsu." She said as he sat beside her. Natsu noticed that she seemed less cheerful as usual. She had been this way ever since they got back from their last S-class mission.

"Are you okay?" Natsu asked worriedly as he moved to place his forehead against hers, to check her temperature.

Lucy blushed at the proximity but she suddenly giggled. She realized that acting like that really bothers the other mage so she did her best to change her mood.

"I'm fine Natsu don't worry."

Natsu pouted but eventually smiled, he gave Lucy a small peck on the lips. "I just thought something was bothering you… and I think that would be bad for you and—"

"Flame Lizard go get a room!" Gray shouted at the couple, obviously annoyed at the way that they're acting.

"What did 'ya say ice boy?!" Natsu growled at Gray who just continued glaring at him.

"I said that you need to get a room matchstick!"

"Ice Princess!"

"Flame brain!"

"Stripper!"

"Burner!"

"Enough!" Erza shouted and then glared at the arguing boys who turned into stone after hearing the Titania's voice.

"A-Aye!" The boys said in chorus making Lucy laugh at them. Juvia also smiled at the pair.

"Good." Erza smiled as she made the boys shut up.

Makarov then cleared his throat loudly which made everyone focus their attention to him. Everyone was staring intently at their guild master who cleared his throat once again before speaking.

"We received a special request from the council." He said seriously and no one dared to ask him what it is, knowing that this is a serious matter especially when it came from the council.

"It's a special S-class mission and I will be the one to pick who among you will go to the mission."

He walked towards the table where team Natsu was sitting. "Team Natsu, together with Juvia and Wendy will take this mission." He announced and no one is shocked about that. Team Natsu is the strongest team in the guild, no wonder why their Master wants to send them to a special mission.

"But!" He spoke again. "Lucy will not go with you."

Everyone's eyes widened except for Natsu who looked at Lucy with concern, wondering how she would take the decision.

Lucy gasped when she heard the announcement.

'I'll be left behind?' Her mind spun at the thought.

"That's right… they're taking you out of the team…" The mysterious woman's voice told her.

'No… that's not true!' She screamed in her mind and the mysterious woman's voice laughed at her.

"Accept it Heartfilia, they're taking you out of the team because you're weak."

'No! No! No!' Lucy screamed in her mind again not knowing that she fell from the bench startling everyone especially Natsu.

"Lucy!" The dragon slayer was immediately beside her, kneeling. "Luce are you okay?" he asked worry all over his features.

Lucy then started to cry making Natsu more worried and everyone one else was also getting worried about her.

"You're leaving me behind because I'm weak right?" She said in between her sobs and Natsu shook his head frantically. "What are you talking about Lucy?! That's not true! You're not weak!"

Happy flew to them and landed on Natsu's head. "But why are we leaving Lucy behind?" The blue exceed asked, also confused as to why they need to leave Lucy even if she was a part of Team Natsu.

"It's because Lucy is…" Natsu's voiced trailed off, he was not sure if he should say it or not.

"Because I'm a burden to our team, especially to you Natsu." Lucy said crying louder this time.

Natsu gasped, "That's not true! You're not a burden to anyone especially to me!"

He tried to hug her but she pushed him away. "Luce?" He said softly obviously shocked at the way the celestial mage was acting.

"I know that you all think that I'm weak, that I don't deserve to be in Team Natsu…" She said sadly then she covered her face with her hands. "I don't deserve to be in Fairy Tail's strongest team! I don't even deserve to be in Fairy Tail!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Natsu clenched his hands into fists indicating that he was starting to get furious. He was about to yell at her for thinking such thoughts but then remembered something. He inhaled deeply to calm himself down and when he managed to calm himself he carefully went near Lucy again, understanding why she was acting this way.

"Luce… That's not true… You deserve to be in our team! You, me and Happy are the core members of team Natsu, without you there wouldn't be a team Natsu… And of course you also deserve to be in Fairy Tail!" He said with his fanged grin and everyone started to agree with him.

"That's right Lucy! Without you there wouldn't be a Team Natsu." Gray said with a thumbs up.

"Aye!" Happy agreed with Gray and Erza smiled. "That's right Lucy you deserve to be with us."

Juvia also smiled. "Juvia also thinks the same. Lucy-san was the first friend that Juvia got here in Fairy Tail!" She said happily. "And because of Juvia's mission in Phantom Lord which has something to do with Lucy-san, Juvia was able to meet Gray-sama! Juvia was very thankful that she had met Lucy-san!"

"That's right Lu-chan! We all love you!" Levy who was standing beside Gajeel shouted at her best friend.

Natsu smiled at them and then he hugged the celestial mage whose cries already just turned in sniffles. "See? We all love you Lucy… Especially me… So don't you ever think that you don't deserve to be here."

Lucy looked up at Natsu with small tears in the corner of her eyes. "Really?"

Natsu nodded at her as he wiped the tears. "Yeah so don't be sad okay?"

"Oka—" Suddenly Lucy's heart started beating faster and she had a hard time breathing.

'W-What's h-happening?'

"I'm gonna take over your body."

'No!' She tried to stop her but it was too late.

Natsu became worried again when he saw that Lucy was having a hard time breathing. "Luce?! What's happening?!" He asked her worriedly.

"No!" Lucy whispered softly before she loses consciousness.

"Luce?!" Natsu exclaimed worriedly as he catches the blonde mage.

Wendy immediately sprung into action, she went to Lucy and started using her powers to heal her.

"Is she okay Wendy?" Nastu asked extremely scared at the current event.

The young dragon slayer nodded at his question. "She's fine but…"

"But?" Natsu asked again.

"Something is weird." She said with disbelief.

"Bring her to the infirmary!" Makarov ordered and Natsu instantly followed. Wendy and the rest of team Natsu also ran with Natsu and Makarov.

In the infirmary

"You need to leave today for the mission." Makarov said seriously making the mages inside the room stare at him with disbelief.

"But Jii-chan! Lucy is—" Natsu started but Makarov cut him off.

"Many people's lives will be in danger if you won't go to that mission immediately."

"But Lucy is—"

"We will take very good care of her Natsu. So you don't have to worry."

Erza stared at her Master's expression and knew that he was serious and that means that the mission was really important.

"We need to go Natsu. The others will take good care of Lucy so you don't have to worry."

Natsu looked at Lucy then to their Master and let out a deep sigh. "Okay, but make sure that Lucy would be fine and also send me letters about her condition every day."

Makarov laughed at his child. "Very protective aren't we?"

Natsu blushed at the statement. "I-I just want to make sure s-she's safe!" He stammered making Erza and the others laugh at him.

Natsu pouted at them. "Hey!" Gray snorted at him. "Let's go pinkie!"

Natsu glared angrily at him. "Shut up droopy eyes!" He looked at Lucy again. "I'll be gone for a while Luce." Then he leaned down and pecked her lips. "Stay safe."

"Let's go!" Gray shouted, he and the others are already outside the infirmary.

"Yeah I'm coming pervert!" Then he followed the others.

The moment Natsu was out of the room a dark aura started to engulf Lucy.

So that's it xDDDDDD Hope that you like the story even if the English is horrible :( See you next time~ Jaa nee~
